DVA Anglia

[joe1600]

Just been reading through some old Cars and Car Conversions. They did a magazine project car called the Dual Valve Anglia with a screamer pre crossflow. Just wanted to know if anyone had any more info on this car and if it still exists ?

Never heard of it but would love to see some scans of the article

 

Did it have a three valve per cylinder head on it ?

All I know is it was a race Anglia built by David Vizard and featured in both CCC and CC.

No idea what engine it had as the only feature I've got is about the suspension DV designed and built.

These are scans of a photocopies so not brilliant but better than nothing.

They are all about the suspension that David Vizard designed and made for it.

I've never seen a pic of the car itself but it had flush fitting plastic windows and a typical 70's paint job apparently.

A little bit more info courtesy of Google.

 

"It ran a derivative of an F3 engine,1000cc,61mm short-stroke big bore pushrod Ford that made an ear-piercing 109hp @ the rear wheels @ 10,000 rpm."

 

It was also for sale in Motoring News on the 26/6/1975.

"David Vizard/CCC project car,Anglia,d/d Holbay F3 1000,£1250."

Bargain.

Ill try and scan some of the articles i have of the car, it looked quite a tool.

the reason i want to find out as much as i can about the car is because I want to build a car of similar spec for hill climbs and sprint events

Any more info on the car would be much appreciated

Here are some pics of the car. Quiet impressive I think you will agree.

For the time the car had some ground breaking features such as a rudimentary diffuser, the air passing under the car was pulled through vents in the boot floor and then out through the boot lid, this was done to equalize air pressure and to allow the car to corner faster
